Hi all,
been quite a while since I've posted on here - well over the year mark!
Anyways, having such a diverse collection of smart people on this forum - i figured it'd be a good place to ask my question:
Can anyone recommend any good (open source) social networking site software?
Basically - profiles, news feeds, etc...
Any tips = mucho appreciated!

| If you're looking for code, try github.com. Ning allows you to make your own social network though. |

Do you mean basically an open source alternative to Facebook?
Diaspora might be the most famous, if that's what you're looking for. |

Thanks for the replies guys -
Yes, basically an open source alternative to facebook - something i can customise if needs be.
Preferably something i can have complete control of and not something that's hosted elsewhere. |

I'm not trying to create another facebook, but I'd like to incorporate a similar functionality to a website I'm working on...
Just not sure how i could take one user - who may be friends with / following 200 users, and display all of their updates (be it status, photos etc) as they happen.
Could write something myself, but would feel better using something that's been tried & tested :)
would prefer it was asp.net, but for performance reasons, php seems the choice for social networks!
Thanks again,
David |
